The only potential problem that I can think of with thermal labels is that if pressed against a hot enough surface they might mark up (the only place I've seen this is at fast food restaurants where the receipt has sat next to the grill.)

I don't think that's an issue though: Many many companies use thermal labels - I've never seen one darkened or faded when it's arrived at my doorstep.

I use a Dymo LabelWriter 450 and it works well but there are others that are better. It depends on your shipping requirements basically. The more expensive units print larger labels and are more suited for commercial use. The Dymo is the most economical printer in the group. Dymo also makes dual printers to allows both stamps and label printing in one unit so you do not have to reload each time you switch between both types of printing jobs. Usually you get what you pay for but if your requirements fit the lower cost units that is great!

Is there limitation on the address line? I saw some thin line stating *4 line address on their website.

I believe that is correct. It is useable for stamps.com mailing labels but I use the larger 4 1/4" x 6 3/4" printer labels for large packages since do not ship that many. I use the Dymo for mostly stamps and smaller labels.
